X Server Error

Hi, I generated a new xorg.conf file on my compter with X -configure. However, whenever I run startx, I am presented with this error:

(EE) No devices detected.

Fatal server eror:
no screens found

Does anyone know how to fix this annoying problem? I have an Intel 82815 Graphics Card and I can use either the i810 or the intel driver. Thanks...

Re: X Server Error

For a quick fix you could rename the backup file xorg (xorg.conf.bak) created to xorg.conf and restart .

posting the failed xorg.conf here will help as well...

Re: X Server Error

I've just reinstalled Arch again. Just thought I would start from the basics all over again.
